News Story: Chinese vice premier calls for cooperation to address differences between China and U.S.

WASHINGTON, July 19 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang on Wednesday called for cooperation between China and the United States instead of confrontation to address their differences.

"China and the U.S. are each other's biggest trading partner and important source of investment. Cooperation is a realistic choice for both sides," Wang said in his opening remarks at the first China-U.S. Comprehensive Economic Dialogue here Wednesday.

"Dialogue cannot immediately address all differences, but confrontation will immediately damage the interests of both," said Wang.

He noted that cooperation between China and the U.S. not only benefits businesses and peoples of the two countries but the world as a whole.
